So based on the provided information which is my essay I need 4 slide powerpoint and sepertae note card for the same information that is provided that can keeps me 4 min talking so here it is:
Potential Threats & Vulnerabilities Research
Cybersecurity relies heavily on threat modeling, which is a comprehensive method for identifying and ranking potential threats. For universities, threat modeling is particularly important as it helps to identify risks to valuable assets such as research, infrastructure, and sensitive data. Understanding the threat landscape allows universities to prioritize and allocate resources more effectively to ensure the security of their assets.
For universities and that includes National university to maintain their accreditation, they must ensure compliance with federal law, they also will need to reduce and mitigate security vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are potential risks that may need to be addressed by the organization depending on the risk rating, the scope of the vulnerability, and its overall impact on the organization. So, for the National University to secure their network, and protect their faculty, and students’ educational and personal records by undergoing a vulnerability assessment. A vulnerability analysis is the identification of vulnerabilities that could increase the frequency or impact of threat events affecting the business.
Moreover, threat modeling can also help to prevent security risks by analyzing system vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors before they are exploited by attackers. Threat intelligence also plays a critical role in enhancing defensive strategies by providing valuable insights into emerging threats, adversary tactics, and ongoing cyber campaigns. Integrating threat modeling frameworks and intelligence-driven approaches into cybersecurity strategies can help universities safeguard their environments and gain insight into mitigating emerging threats.
According to (Tweneboah-Koduah, Skouby, & Tadayoni, 2017). The number and variety of hackers has steadily grown over time. Nowadays, there are many different types of hackers, each with their own unique motivations. For example, there are “typical” hackers who use computers to illegitimately enter computer systems or networks. Hackers often exploit system vulnerabilities to gain access. As a result, security threats have become mor
e commonplace due to the increase in the number of hackers. Furthermore, the rise in interest in hacking among individuals, organizations, and nations has also contributed to the prevalence of these threats. More and more people and institutions are interested in manipulating other website users and accessing sensitive files and information to disrupt the operations of businesses or individuals and extort them.
PHYSICAL SECURITY THREATS
Addressing physical security threats at National University is essential for protecting both physical and digital assets. Integrating physical security measures with cybersecurity protocols can enhance overall resilience and ensure comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats. Potential physical security threats a university should consider are unauthorized access, theft and vandalism, and natural disasters. These risks require a multi-layered approach that integrates physical security measures, such as access controls, surveillance systems, and environmental safeguards, with robust cybersecurity protocols, including encryption, network segmentation, intrusion detection, and disaster recovery planning. By proactively mitigating the impact of physical security threats on digital assets, National University can safeguard their operations, protect sensitive data, and ensure the continuity of essential services during emergencies.
Data Security threat:
Inadequate data encryption failure to encrypt sensitive data being stored on National University servers or transmitted over networks can lead to unauthorized access and data theft. And we have this data loss is when incidents occur by accidental delectation, or hardware failure which can disrupt university operations and compromise certain critical information.
Network Security Threats:
Having a weakness in network security infrastructure which can expose National University systems for unauthorized access and cyberattacks. For example, according to a report by Educause, about 60% of universities have experienced at least one network intrusion attempt in 2020.
Cybersecurity Threats:
Cybersecurity threats included phishing attacks, malware infections as well data breaches, which are pervasive in university environments. Phishing attacks target individuals within university communities through their emails or messages trying to trick them by having sensitive information.
